STUCK UP

When I was young, I had bedroom wallpaper similar to this, though rather less sophisticated (and probably cheaper)...

But before that, not having the money to redecorate the house into which we had just moved, my father improvised by carefully cutting out pictures from the back of Rice Krispies cereal boxes featuring 'Heroes of the West' and pasting them up over the existing – somewhat faded – floral design wallpaper...

I was reminded of this when I discovered (during our move year) that I own a set of unused vintage (c 1956) 'Walt Disney Nursery Decorations'...

Nice to see someone in the UK remembered "Anthony Wayne". That's practically a blurb in any history book here. There's a school district in my section of the state named after him but the best is the site of the "Battle of Fallen Timbers" that took place south of my town. Sadly part of that land today is a "lifestyle center".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fallen_Timbershttp://www.theshopsatfallentimbers.com/
